1978 Volkswagen ASI Riviera Campmobile

They are only original once!

***WILL SHIP WORLD WIDE***

This Bus started its life in Tacoma, Washington and was driven by the new owner to its home in Eagle River, Alaska. I am unsure how long it lived in Alaska but it did come to Texas in the 90's. The odometer reads 56XXX but I would assume it has rolled over.

The VW has had only one repaint quite a few years ago.
While it still looks good it will be ready for another to be brought back to factory new.

I have installed a new front tire cover, it also has 4 Kumho tires that are in excellent condition.

No real body damage, just a few nicks and dings. Great looking Bus!

All Lenses are Factory Hella except the two rear side marker.

All glass in good condition and in working order. It does need a windshield, more on that later.

2.0 Liter with dual Weber Carbs. All heating components are present and I have replaced engine to body seal for proper cooling.

I also installed a new battery and starter within the last month.

The carpet is in great condition and all the original cabinets and appliances are present as are
all the foldout tables.

The Bus also has all of its original curtains.

Sink has two faucets, one needs an electric pump the other is in working condition that hooks to water hook ups.

The original stove and fridge are included but I have not tested them.

The rear bed still retains the original fabric. There are a couple of spots that need attention but I would prefer worn original over perfect un-original.

Dome lights are in working order!

The canvas top is in great condition (could use a little cleaning).

The fiberglass top is in great condition as well.

Lets talk about windshields and rust. I have not replaced the windshield because it would be a good time to repair the rust around the windshield. It has not rusted through anywhere. What I would offer is, I will replace the windshield before it is picked up if the winning bidder is going to wait to have the bus painted. But if you would like to have it replaced after you have the bus painted I will deduct $225.00 off of the winning bid to cover the cost of a new windshield. Your choice.

Rust, they all seem to have it somewhere. The worst rust on the bus is on the roof (see pic below). I know it is ugly but you can not see it if the top is down and if you are going to have it painted this is an easy fix. Way better than floor problems. Like I said earlier the floors are in excellent condition!

Door panels are in good condition.

Seats are in great condition!

The dash has no cracks!

The floor mat is in great condition.

All seats have seat belts including the rear seats.

Headliner is in excellent condition!

The bed up top is in excellent condition! Ready to go camping!

Folders of receipts and hand written notes! Including the original owners manual, dealer pouch, warranty & maintenance manual with owner ID plate. (pic below) Cool stuff!

Awesome bus ready to go camping. Runs and drives good and is ready for a new owner.

VW readying new VR6 with forced induction

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Volkswagen built a stonking, narrow-angle V6 in the 1980s and 1990s that was found in three different generations of the Golf (their performance iterations, obviously), three generations of the Passat, the New Beetle, the Corrado and the Touareg, among other VWs, a spate of Audis, Seats, a Skoda, and even the Porsche Cayenne. It was a sad day when it was announced that it'd be put out to pasture.
Rejoice, though, fans of the venerable VR6, because Volkswagen has a new, modern variant in the works that, according to AutoWeek, features direct injection and can easily be fitted with forced induction. In fact, AW mentions Volkswagen insiders that claim this unit will spawn a production version of the twin-turbo V6 shown on the Design Vision GTI from this year's Wörthersee festival. That unit produced an epic 503 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque.
Don't expect a production unit with that level of power (although it would make a hardy RS4 powerplant), though. In reality, AutoWeek is suspecting anywhere from 340 to 450 horsepower from the new mill. When it arrives at an undisclosed date in the future, it'll likely be found in the Passat and Passat CC as well as the production version of the CrossBlue.

Lamando is Chinese for VW Jetta CC [w/video]

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Volkswagen is not messing around when it characterizes its new MQB architecture as modular. It's already underpinning the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia, and will soon form the basis for many more. And here is the latest.
Unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in China this weekend is the new Volkswagen Lamando, a four-door coupe similar in size to a Jetta but with the svelter roofline of the larger Passat-based CC to go after the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's essentially the production version of the New Midsize Coupe concept that previewed its arrival at the Beijing Motor Show this past April, and will be built locally for local consumption by VW's joint venture with SAIC.
Power comes from either a 1.4- or 2.0-liter turbo four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an equivalent price tag below $30,000. Whether this or any similar vehicle ever arrives in North American showrooms remains to be seen, but we'll be watching to find out. In the meantime you can scope it out in the trippy video below and the photos in the gallery above.
